Description
These Baked Cheese Mummies are a fun and festive Halloween appetizer. Crescent roll dough is wrapped around cheese sticks to resemble mummies, then baked until golden brown and served with a marinara dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 8 oz can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 string cheese sticks, halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds (for eyes)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create thin strips.
- Wrap each cheese stick half with the dough strips, leaving a small gap for the ‘face’.
- Place the ‘mummies’ on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the mummies with olive oil.
- Using the sesame seeds, create two ‘eyes’ on each mummy.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can use any type of string cheese you prefer.
- For a different flavor, try wrapping the cheese in puff pastry instead of crescent rolls.
- Get creative with the ‘eyes’! You can use small pieces of black olives or edible candy eyes.
